Ive read over the "Guide to properly lowering your S197" thread and its very informative on what parts do what. It doesnt exactly clearly state what you need. I bought some of the UPR eibachs that lower the car 1.3" front and 1.4" rear.

My goal is to have better handling than stock, but not overly aggressive and not too cause too much tire wear. I will be going to the drag strip maybe once a month and an autocross track maybe twice a year just for fun.

I was thinking something along the lines of camber bolts up front, and adjustable upper/lower control arms/bolt-on relo bracket/adjustable panhard bar in the back.

Is that all I need or is there more that i really need?

Thanks

I would seriously consider struts added to the mix. My car was lowered with the FRPP/Eibach kit 1.5 and there was way too much rebound over expansion joints on the freeway and bumpy roads. The really tightened up the car considerably.


Other than that, there isn't much more you need. IMO

shocks and struts are definately going in down the line, not yet though. probably in the spring. is anyone running the TEIN Electronic Dampner Force Controller yet? thats a really nice set up. a little pricey tho.

I just put in Steeda Sports and D-Specs (1.125 fr / 1.75 rr measured drop). Nothing else required (except an alignment, of course).

I did the ADJ PHB and PHB brace earlier, but I am not sure it is even needed (though, I am still glad I did it). My shop did the alignment, so I am not sure if they messed with the PHB or not.

I put in the FRPP spring kit which was $159 from latemodelrestoration. I plan on adding the struts and shocks later too.

im going to get the adj panhard bar just to be safe, i just bought 20" black foose nitrous on ebay.. that hurt the wallet a little bit but it will be well worth it. also going to get the d-specs asap now to make the ride a little smoother. heres a crappy photoshop of the car with them on and lowered:
